Are these AI prompts free to use?

Yes. All 57 prompts on this page are free to copy and use with any AI assistant, including ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. You only need an account with one of those tools to run them.

How do I use these AI prompts for productivity?

Where do these prompts come from?

Each prompt is pulled from one of Zekai’s tested prompt guides. The “From” link under every prompt goes to the full article, which explains the reasoning behind the prompt and how it was tested.

Can I edit these prompts?

Please do. Treat each one as a starting structure: tighten the instructions, add your own constraints, and keep the version that gives you the best output. The bracketed placeholders mark the parts that always need changing.
